Friday Flick: Marriage Proposal

"Greatest Marriage Proposal Ever" Matt proposes to Ginny with a movie trailer while recording her reaction

Usually, I cringe over public marriage proposals. Somehow this one seems different, maybe because the theme of Matt and Ginny’s courtship has been “Making the Movies Jealous,” it has high enough production values to be a hoax, and yet they seem genuinely surprised that tens of millions of people have passed this along. It’s a great example of what it takes to go viral, and it’s heart-warming that so many people still care about sentimental moments. I wish them all the happiness possible –which I suspect means they’ll need the fortitude to resist becoming another reality show.
